I have no choice -- I'm paralyzed on one side, so tend to spend almost all my
time seated, in my wheelchair when I'm out & about.

The Sallies is one charity I actually trust to do as they say (spend the
money received in the communitry they get it from, for services for the
homeless & substance abuse addicts.)
People come by & ask me, "Aren't you cold?" & I reply, "That's why we do
this. . ." giving a look that suggests digging deeper to donate more (most
did!)
I've been known to see someone pick through a stack of big bills, to find the
smallest, to say, "Oh, come on, drop in at least a $20, to say thank you to
God you're in such decent shape!"
Most laugh & agreeably comply. . . :D
For myself, I'd just sit quietly & say thank you, but when wearing the SA
apron, I'm REPRESENTING all they help, some of whom I know personally.
I lost my job at the salvation army soup kitchen last night.
All I said was hurry up some of us have homes to go to...
Went into a Salvation Army store and saw a radio. It was turned up full blast
but the volume knob was missing. It only cost 1 dollar.
I said boy I can’t turn this down.
Gatorade should run some kind of charity xconcert promotion where they raise
funds to help preserve endangered species of alligator.
Gator Aid.
I won $6million in the lottery and have decided to donate a quarter of it to
charity....
I now have $5.999,999,75c left.
I just received a call from a Charity asking me to donate some of my old
clothes to the starving people around the world...
I told them, "Anyone who fits into my clothes, certainly isn't starving. "
